Danny Welbeck made a last minute move to Arsenal

Danny Welbeck and Tom Cleverley were also at the centre of hurried negotiations as the deadline loomed closer.

ARSENAL, whose manager Arsene Wenger was in Italy for a charity match, moved to negotiate a £16m fee for England striker Welbeck, with the Gunners farming out Japanese winger Ryo Miyaichi out to Dutch outfit Twente for the season and selling defender Ignasi Miquel to NORWICH for an undisclosed fee.

TOTTENHAM had also been keen on Welbeck but did manage to bring in midfielder Benjamin Stambouli from Montpellier as well as letting Lewis Holtby leave for Hamburg on loan.

EVERTON and ASTON VILLA were keen on signing Cleverley for £7m, but Villa pulled out because of the player’s wage demands.

The Toffees sold defender Shane Duffy to Blackburn for £1.5m while Villa confi rmed the departure of Karim El Ahmadi to Feyenoord.

MANCHESTER CITY had passed on Falcao and opted not to add to a star-studded squad.

But there were departures, with England defender Micah Richards jetting to Italy to join Fiorentina and striker John Guidetti joining Celtic on a one-year loan.

Negotiations were also taking place with Valencia over Spain striker Alvaro Negredo going on loan and then joining permanently in the summer.

CHELSEA loaned a second player to AC Milan as Marco van Ginkel ended up following in Fernando Torres’ footsteps.

SUNDERLAND were busy, bringing in Inter Milan’s Argentina international Ricardo Alvarez and Liverpool defender Sebastian Coates on season-long loans as well as getting rid of defenders Modibo Diakite and Valentin Roberge.

CRYSTAL PALACE splashed out £7m on Wigan’s James McArthur, who thought he was joining Leicester last week, as well as recruiting Tottenham’s Zeki Fryers on a three-year deal.

BURNLEY hope their chances of staying in the Premier League will have been boosted by the arrivals of George Boyd from Hull for £3m and Chelsea’s Nathaniel Chalobah, who has been loaned until January.

HULL broke their transfer record to land Palermo striker Abel Hernandez for £10million as well as recruiting West Ham midfielder Mohamed Diame for £3.5m.

And Tigers boss Steve Bruce moved swiftly to bring in NEWCASTLE'S Hatem Ben Arfa on loan, with the Frenchman’s departure a big talking point on Tyneside, especially as Alan Pardew looked set to bring in no new faces to St James’ Park.

Hull were then linked with a move for Southampton play-maker Gaston Ramirez.

SOUTHAMPTON had Atletico Madrid defender Toby Alderweireld and Salzburg midfielder Sadio Mane in for medicals as well as terminating the loan spell of Saphir Taider, who was only three weeks into a season-long loan from Inter Milan.

Saints were also involved in complex negotiations with Tottenham over England striker Jay Rodriguez, with the London club willing to send Andros Townsend to the south coast as part of the deal.

WEST HAM were trying to complete a deal for Marseille midfielder Morgan Amalfitano, who was on loan at West Brom last season. SWANSEA brought in 21-year-old Ostersunds FK striker Modou Barrow for an undisclosed fee and let midfielder Jose Canas join Espanyol.
